Overview

In this procedure, you create an Ops Manager VM instance to host the upgraded version of Ops Manager. Then, to complete the Ops Manager upgrade, you export your existing Ops Manager installation onto this new VM.

For PCF installations on AWS, the VM that hosts the new version of Ops Manager uses an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) specific to your region.

Select the version of PCF you want to install from the Releases dropdown.

In the Release Download Files, click the file named Pivotal Cloud Foundry Ops Manager for AWS to download a PDF.

Open the PDF and record the AMI ID for your region.

Launch Ops Manager AMI

Use the AMI ID for your region to launch an AMI instance that hosts the new version of Ops Manager.

To launch the AMI for Ops Manager, perform the following steps:

Navigate to your EC2 Dashboard.

Click AMIs from the Images menu.

Select Public images from the drop-down filter that says Owned by me.

Paste the AMI ID for your region into the search bar and press enter.

Note: There is a different AMI for each region. If you cannot locate the AMI for your region, verify that you have set your AWS Management Console to your desired region. If you still cannot locate the AMI, log in to the Pivotal Network and file a support ticket.

(Optional) If you want to encrypt the VM that runs Ops Manager with AWS Key Management Service (KMS), perform the following additional steps:

Right click the row that lists your AMI and click Copy AMI.

Select your Destination region.

Enable Encryption. For more information about AMI encryption, see Encryption and AMI Copy from the Copying an AMI topic in the AWS documentation.

Select your Master Key. To create a new custom key, see Creating Keys in the AWS documentation.

Click Copy AMI. You can use the new AMI you copied for the following steps.
